Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I don't disagree but there are a lot more college jobs than NFL jobs available.

that's obviously true. but my guess here is that there are lot of guys in college right now who could make the jump to the NFL if they really wanted to. maybe they won't be HC's but they could be co-ordinators or position coaches. and quite frankly I think I'd take that and try to work my way up in the NFL rather than be a head coach in college. 

For instance I can almost guarantee you that Jeem would've brought Sherrone Moore with him to the Chargers as OL coach/Co-OC if Moore really wanted to make the jump. Ryan Day could get an OC job tomorrow in the NFL if he wanted. Day could go to any NFL team with a QB be the OC for 2-3 years and then almost pick his NFL HC job after that. And shit if I was in his position- that's exactly what I'd do. F*ck being a college head coach right now. Especially at a place as bat shit crazy as Ohio State. Dude wins 88% of his games and has only lost I think 3 conference games- all to Michigan- and if he loses to Michigan this year they'll want to run him out of town.

Mike Gundy is the man. Always liked that guy. Straight up no BS dude and hell of a coach.

That type of sh*t is why if I was a football coach, I'm out on college. Forever. I'm trying to get an NFL job. To hell with that bullshit.

Ironically, his most high profile moment was in fact built on BS.

There are, what, 32 teams in the NFL?  So 96 total potential HC, OC, DC positions? 

All of those positions are currently occupied by coaches who have already worked their way up in the NFL, so there's maybe... 8-10 positions that would realistically be open for a current college coach to move into?

The fact is, the vast majority of college coaches simply aren't able to move up to the NFL.  Maybe a small handful each year.  So while it's easy to say "If I were a coach, I'd just ditch college and move to the NFL" the truth is that's just not a realistic option for the vast majority of college coaches.

I'll add to that by saying, I'd pretty happily put up with all the bulljive of coaching in college for a million or more per year.  I currently put up with a ton of bulljive in corporate America, for less than that.

I think the pool is a little wider just because they have like a quarter million position coaches. But it’s true that not everyone can get out, and honestly, it doesn’t seem like everyone wants to get out. It’s a job with more stress these days, but also much more reward at the highest levels of college.

and if you’re a college coach with name, recognition, you can always drop down to the high school level and get a well-paying job in certain states. And you get the most pure kind of coaching there is (plus different booster BS)

Anyone tell the head coach?

nice gimmick

ain't gonna do much good

he took the pay cut and probably would have been fired at 0-6

so, he cheated
